Patient's question:
On December 1st, ovulation period, had sex on the 4th, took birth control pills on the 6th. Now my period is 5 days late. Tried a few pregnancy tests, and the T zones are very faint. It seems I might be pregnant. I'm still breastfeeding. Is it better to have medication abortion or surgical abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally, taking emergency contraception orally within 72 hours is effective for emergency contraception. The test strip is merely a reference, and it cannot be used as a basis for diagnosis. I suggest you don't worry too much and have a blood hCG test at the hospital in the morning tomorrow. This test can confirm whether you are pregnant or not. If it is confirmed that you are not pregnant, it might be considered delayed menstruation.
